Lowder Red Barn – Auburn Alabama Art Print by Mark Tisdale

This Auburn Alabama art print features the Edward L Lowder Red Barn. This artwork featuring a building on the campus at Auburn University was another Auburn artwork I did by request. The barn and old silos are part of an Ag Heritage park administered by the College of Agriculture. The red barn also houses a display of antique tools and other heritage farming implements. Additionally, there’s an adjacent pavilion that is used for reunions, wedding receptions and other functions. So there’s a good chance the Lowder Red Barn and the old silos are recognizable to more than just alumni from the College of Agriculture at Auburn University.

Despite my time spent at Auburn, I had no direct contact with that classic old red barn. I wish I had though because I love old barns. So, this subject was a real joy to work on. There’s something that speaks to me in old barns and sheds in general and red barns are genuinely classic Americana by anyone’s definition. So I suspect this is a farm scene that may interest those with roots in Auburn’s College of Agriculture as well as the general public who just love colorful farming scenes. And for many of us, regardless of the rose colored glasses, look at this way of life with a sense of nostalgia. There’s something peaceful about an old barn in a field. And timeless, too, of course.
